Gevo's revenue and expenses in Q4 2024 showed a significant decline in operating expenses, but the net income remained negative. Here's a detailed analysis: 1. **Revenue Trend**: Gevo's revenue for Q4 2024 was $15.8 million. This represents a decrease from the previous quarter's revenue of $27.07 million, indicating a decline in business activities or market conditions. 2. **Expense Trend**: The operating expenses for Q4 2024 were not provided in the report. However, the net income was reported as -$17.61 million. This negative net income suggests that the company's expenses were greater than its revenue during the quarter. 3. **Gross Margin**: The gross margin for Gevo's business segments was 29.05% as of December 31, 2024. This indicates that for every dollar of revenue, Gevo had 29.05 cents in gross profit.

This suggests that the decline in revenue was not due to segment-specific issues but rather a company-wide phenomenon. In conclusion, Gevo experienced a decline in revenue in Q4 2024, with the company's net income remaining negative. The gross margin remained stable at 29.05%, indicating that the company's profitability issues were likely due to increased operating expenses or reduced revenue from its business segments. |code|Ticker|Name|Date|Business Composition|Revenue By Business|market_code| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|20240101-2024|Gevorng|1.5796E7|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|20240101-2024|Renewable Natural Gas|1.0265E7|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|20240101-2024|Renewable Natural Gas|8313000|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|20240101-2024|Renewable Natural Gas|3990000|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|20240101-2024|Gevo|0|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|20240101-2024|Agri-Energy|0|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|20240101-2024|Renewable Natural Gas|3990000|186| |code|Ticker|Name|Date|Net Income YoY|Net Income|market_code| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q1|-7.134748552616641|-1.8875E7|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q2|-45.64493758668516|-2.1002E7|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q3|-34.7515923566879|-2.1156E7|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q4|4.708556583861016|-1.7607E7|186| |code|Ticker|Name|Date|Gross Profit Margin|Gross Profit Margin YoY|market_code| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q1|35.1629|491.12913093291513|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q2|35.027|49.66756682846792|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q3|23.7272|-23.728088926891832|186| |GEVO|GEVO.O|Gevo|2024 Q4|29.0452|-4.093459116589453|186|
